Valentine's day is close and chocolate are always the perfect gift, but why? In fact, when a person is in love his or her brain produces a chemical called phenylethylamine (PEA)
believed to trigger the euphoric sensation of being in love. Since chocolate contains PEA, it has been listed as being an aphrodisiac food. However, PEA is rapidly metabolized before it reaches the brain. Moreover, studies have yet failed to find a relevant link between chocolate and increased sexual desire.
Aphrodisiac
or not, for most people it's always a pleasure to have a chocolate
bite. So if a box of chocolate makes your valentine happy then don't
think twice. In the end, it's all in the head, and as the Roman
philosopher Seneca once said " I will show you a philter without
potions, without herbs, without any witch's incantation- if you wish to
be loved, love"
